LA Night Cop was a mid-season police action replacement for the one-hour CBS medical crime procedural Dr. Hooper, PI. LA Night Cop centered on Denny Patton, a computer expert whose family was killed by drug pushers. He works a desk job during the days, but at night he uses technology to transform himself into Night Cop, the LAPD's ultimate patrol force. LA Night Cop first aired in 1983 and continued for three seasons until a finale in 1986. Despite modest ratings, LA Night Cop proved popular enough to merit a 1991 reunion movie entitled LA Night Cop: Case Reopened, which reunited all the stars including Baxter, Denny's humorous robot.
